Happy #MiracleMonday!

Let’s start off this week by meeting 14-year-old Blake. He was diagnosed with uncontrolled epilepsy, cerebral palsy, cortical vision impairment, and a few other medical issues.

What is something you want people to know about your experience/ diagnosis/ condition?

Blake just wants to get to know people and hopefully they will want to get to know him.”
